What are the minimal requirements for Aflresco 201605

[raaftjon]

Hello

In the "Alfresco Community Edition 201605 GA Release Notes" is written that the prerequisite for Aflresco 201605 are the following:

• DB: MySQL 5.6 or PostgreSQL 9.4.4
• App Server: Tomcat 7
• Java Version: JDK 8
• LibreOffice 4.4

Are these the minimum requirements?

Or it is possible to running with PostgreSQL 9.2 and LibreOffice 4.3.7?

Best regards

Jonas

Those are a combination of "absolute" and "recommended" minimum requirements because Alfresco has tested the Community release with those components and is technically incompatible to earlier versions of at least some of these components. I.e. from experience I know you can use an earlier version of PostgreSQL and LibreOffice (at your own risk), but since Alfresco is built with JDK 8 against JDK 8 it will fail to be run with JDK 7.

I do not recommend running production with anything below the listed prerequisite versions.

I always refer to the "Supported Platforms" page and treat that as minimal requirements, even when my clients are running Community Edition.
